I don't understand this statement either.Currently the Car/Driver input ratio is about 70/30.Wouldn't it be better to try and get that reversed? Or is Bridgestone versus whoever more exciting?

We seem very keen to keep F1 cars at the top of the technology tree.But even on this forum the drivers take precedence over mere machinery.How many times have we run out of superlatives to describe the drivers,only for the paragraph to be finished off by saying "let's hope that RedBull (or whoever) give him a decent car".
